A SONG OF WORK.

charming tale was that of old
, For lazy folks by poets told
That Us Love that makes the world 20 round
Round and round
With never a sound
over nnd over,
From Sydney to Dover,
neie We go, there we go till the brain reels
Now on our heads and now on our heels
but we know il Is not Love ut all
ihal Keeps ngoing this cosmic ball;
For oh
It's Work that makes the world 20 round,
And Love only oils the wheels
Then pirate no more of primal curse"
WIN Eden kept, things might have been worse
For lis Work that makes the world 90 round
SO day by day
Well work AWAY,
Flowing and sowing,
Rcaping aud moving,
Spinning and weaving and getting OF meals,
Forging and building and laying OF kees;
Slaves and prisoners labor; free men disdain
word So fmught with crime aud paint
Yet OH
IT'S hard to mike the world go round
II Love do not oil the wheels.
What know they Of rest who never work.
But the duties OF manhood aud womanhood
shirk,
'Tis Work that makes the world go round!
When work is done
IT'S time for fun
Father and mSthcr
Sister and bnthcr
Baby and all, with the ipcrrieSt pcas,
Greeting the joys home life reveals.
Days work brings peacN aud rrst at night
For Work means DUTY, and Duty Is Right
And OH
It's easy 90 make the Girl 20 round
II Love will but oil the wheels

CHAPTER XII.
A BUR NC CAR.


 But for the wetness of the day all his efforts even yet would have been foiled. We now did what had been in the mind of Andrews, doubtless, for some time past-what he might have tried even at the Oostenaula bridge had not the inter- val between that and Calhoun been so fearfully short. He ordered us to fire our last car while we were running. It was said easily, but was much harder to do. Everything about the car was as wet as it we'll could be. The rain fell in tor rents, and the wood was drenched in the tender. It was by no small effort and be kept at the heat required for fast run ming. But desperate fingers tore every thing combustible loose from the car, and smashed it into kindling. Some blazing fagots were stolen from the engine and the fire made to burn. The rapid mo- tion with driving rain was an obstacle at first, but as we fed up the blaze and shell tered it as we'll as possible, it grew rap idly, till soon but one could stay on the car and watch it, and all the others crowded on the tender and locomotive. The steam was now gradually shut off that we might come slowly upon the bridge and be able to leave the burning car just at the right place. We came to full stop at this first Chickamauga bridge, large one and well covered. h. side it was at least drier than on the out side, and we doubted not that with time it would burn we'll. The only ques- tion was: "Wil that time be given?" We added almost the last of our oil and nearly the last stick of wood-knowing that g wood station was not far ahead, and if this bridge could be made to burn well, we could have all the time we wanted to get wood and everything else. In fact we put life itself on this last throw, and left ourselves, in case of failure, hopelessly bankrupt. For considerable time, as it seemed to us, though it must have been measured by seconds rather than minutes, we remained on the other side of the fire

In Regard to Explosives.

The prevailing opinions in regard to explo- sives are, in the main, incorrect. The state ment that the main force of dynamite ex- plosion is downward will go uncontradicted in almost any company that has not given explosives special attention. But, in fact, there is no shooting upward or downward or edgtsvays with one explosive more than with another. They ali eSpp11n1anaSse: eSpp11 and the variety of effect is causc slIl
 ence in their power-that is, Ss sg, . tifS with which they explode The explosive power of powder, which, of all explosives, is best understood, is about 40, 900 pounds to the square inch, and other explosives are meas ured as being a given number of times stronger or weaker than powder. The force of that explosive is generally believed to be upward, when, in fact, it is equal in all direc- tions But it burns slow enough to allow the air to get out of the way.
 Dynamite, on the other hand, explodes so rapidly the air cannot be displaced in time to prevent its force downward being much greater in proportion than that of powder. It is because dynamite will break stone be- heath it that the people think its greatest power is in that direction. To prove that it is not, suspend large stone in the air and suspend the dynamite charge to the under side of it. The work of destruction will be as complete as though the stone had been underneath.

ICE THAT NEVER MELTS.

Heat Equal to That of Our Latitude
 Without Effect in Alaska.
 It is remarkable indeed that so much of the surface ground on the Yukon is frozen solid to depth of several feet. It is all the more so when we come to realize the fact that dur ing the summer it gets as hot there as in the south During the heat of the past season the miners found it great convenience to go in bathing in the streams at least twice a day, and to seek shady places in which to rock the gold out of the gravel. At the break ing up of winter the hours of sunshine are rapidly increasing, .and continue so until midsummer, when the sun beams forth twenty-tw hours out of the twenty-four, while on the high mountain peaks it is for a period of several days in June not entirely out of sight the twenty-four hours.
 But during all this heat and long days of continuous sunshine the suns rays do not penetrate the heavy moses that cover nearly the entire surface of the country, and conse- quently the frozen ground underneath lies in that state as if packed in an icehouse After it once becomes frozen, as any damp ground will do in the winter time, it quickly becomes covered with this moss, which is of remarkably rapid growth and attains a depth of some two feet or more. During the heat of summer this moss becomes dry to the depth of several inches, and the miners think that by continuous burning of it as fast as it dries they will soon have the gravel bars along the creeks at least, cleared off, being of the impression that when the gravel de- posits are exposed to the scorching rays of the sun and rains and atmosphere they will readily thaw out.
 When winter sets in the hours of sunshine gradually decrease until during the shortest days the sun shines but four hours out of the twenty-four. But at this period the aurora is most intense, and helps very materially in driving darkness from that dreary land. The thermometer goes down to 70 degs. in winter, but the atmosphere is very dry, and consequently the cold is not so perceptible as one would imagine. Juneau (Alaska) Free Press.

KINDLING FIRE IN THE BOX CAR. watching. Then the memorable smoke of the foe was seen; the pin connecting the burning car with our. engine was pulled out and we slowly moved on. Too clearly we saw the ruin of all our hopes! To wait the coming of our foes was vain. They were now near at hand, and we could see their guns, with which they would be able to fight us at long range. The car which, if the day had been dry, would long before this have filled the bridge with Q mass ot roaring flame, was burning faster than the bridge. To take it to another bridge was useless, for the drenching rain would have given it little chance to burn away from the shelter of the bridge. Very sadly we left the tall column of smoke behind. The pursuers saw the car, and realizing how serious their loss would be if it was permitted to consume the bridge, they pushed right into the smoke and showed the burning car on to Ringgold, but short distance ahead, where it was left to smoke and sputter in the rain on the side track
 We were now on what proved to be our last run. have often been asked if this day was not one of great fear and terror on the part of those who were engaged in the race. For my own part, cannot

Unlucaky Days for Weddings.

It is well to recall one or two interesting superstitions that were religiously noted in the time of our grandmothers. In the first place, according to an ancient and reliable chronicle, there are thirty-two days in the year that are especially unlucky for mar riages and journeys. They are as follows: Jan. 1, ?, 4, 5, 2, 10 and 15; Feb. 6, 2 and IS; March 1, 6 and 8; April and Il; May 5, 6 and z; June and 15; July and 19; Aug. 15 and 19; Sept. and 2; Oct 2; Nov. 15 and 16, and Dec 15, 16 and IT. Everybody knows that Friday is the most unlucky day for @ wedding, while Wednesday and Thursday are the luckiest Our grandmothers believed that it was most unfortunate thing if the bride, after finishing her toilet and leaving her looking glass, should turn around again for last glance at herself. It was also bad for her to see the man she was about to marry after dressing and before the time had come for the ceremony.-New York Star.

Duel with Chief Left Hand.

Duels were as common in the west in those days as in the south, and the following story is told of Jim Baker challenging Left Hand, the great war chief of the Arapahoes. He was known by that name by the whites as it was remarkable to see an Indian who was left handed. His Indian name was Ni-Wot. A mountain stream and little postoffice near Denver bear the name Ni-Wot, in honor of the old warrior. 1t was early in the sixties, when Jim Baker was living on Clear creek, that he had excited the animosity and hatred of Left Hand. On one occasion Left Hand and a band of his tribe camped near Jim Bakers cabin. Believing that they were bent on mischief and that his old enemy intended to make war on him, Baker, with rife in hand went alone to Left Hands camp. The Indians were amazed to see Baker enter their camp alone, and much more so when they saw him walk up to Left Hand and say:
 'Is Left Hand, the great chief and warrior of the Arapahoes, here for peace or warT
 The chief, startled by the nerve and also the abrupt questions of the speaker, hesi- tated moment.
 "Which is it my Indian brother wantsF' again said Baker.
 "Paleface no friend of Arapahoes," replied Left Hand 'sMe no afraid of Jim Baker. He shoot rife like Kit Carson, but Left Hand no afraid"
 Angry words followed, and Left Hand shouted out:
 "Me heap great warrior of Arapahoes; mad at paleface Left Hand come to fight, and fight now," shaking his rife defiantly.
 Flight with rif1es!" asked Baker.
 Left Hand no afraid paleface rifle; fight with rife hundred yards"
 Cleft Hand has spoken like warrior and I will fight" replied Baker, for he knew that he was more than a match for any Indian with his rife, and although the only white in or near the Indian camp, he feared them not. The hundred yards were stepped off, and Baker and Left Hand took their places; but before either had fired shot the Indians in terfered and put an end to the intended duel. Baker then threw his rifle over his shoulder and returned to his cabin, and was never afterwards moIested by Left Hand.-Denver Cor. New York World.

snn and Eira Symbols.

There are to be found occasionally upon the walls of old brick houses, at about the line of division between the first and second stories, flat pieces of iron five or six inches in length, and shaped somewhat like the letter s. The use of these articles was clearly brought from England, where it is still con- tinued, and O writer gives curious account of its origin and meaning.
 The writer says that the figure in question is an early symbol of the sun. It is still used in Herefordshire and other parts of England. He once asked an old servant of the family a Worcestershire man-the reason for the particular form of these irons, and the reply was that 'sthey were made thus in order to protect the house from fire as we'll as from falling down"
 If one will examine into the antiquities of the Isle of Man, he will find the seal of the government shows a curious combination of this figure. The same was on the official seal of Sicily. We can trace its use to the oldest countries of Asia, but its origin was earlier than history gives any record.-Nature.

 As Fuller pressed on toward the great tunnel, even his resolute heart almost died within him, while all his party began to blame him for foolhardiness. He feared to plunge into it's dark depths. It was still filled with smoke from our en- zine; and he we'll knew that if we jumped off at the far end and hurled back our locomotive at him, it meant horrible death to every one on his train; and he was by no means sure that we would not do it. MT. Murphy, who had so ably stood by him all the while, here counseled prudence, pointing out all the perils of an ambush. But Fuller realized as ap- parently no one else did the desperate need of pressing on to save the road; and he had made so many escapes and been fatalism took hold of him. He deter what the danger might be. It may as well be said here that no prudent and common sense kind of pursuit. such as possibly any other man would have en- ployed, could have had the slightest chance of success. But even Fuller quailed as they dived into the cloud of smoke that hung around the entrance of the tunnel, and held his breath for a few seconds they were still at full speed), till he saw with sigh of relief @ gleam of light ahead and knew that there was no other engine now in the tunnel! On he pressed, for he knew the value of the Chickamauga bridges ahead as well as we did.
